Hey guys,
well i want honest opinion from as many ppl as possible..LOL ..please.
I am married and i have 2 kids ( 9 &5 end of this year ).Hubby and i always agreed on having 3 or 4 max.HE always said it's better to have them all while young , which i agreed then. Now i tell him that our kids are quite big, especially the girl, so if we want to have more , this yr sounds good.Now he's telling me , there's no rush and even if i'm 35-36 it's still young to give birth, i told him NO WAY i don't wanna give birth at that age ( No offence to w/m who are that age, just don't want my kids to have 20 yrs age difference).
So he's thinking about it over & over ...Now, I have been totally honest with him and told him i stopped my pills because i always forget them anyway( which it's true ) . so we should be careful cos i only ovulate a few days/month. HE didn't say anything, i thought he was gonna tell me to go back on it , or say , no protection=no sex, but he joked about it.So now he touches me knowing im not using any kind of protection ( he won't wear the raincoat lol )but insists he doesn't want a child now, does not make sense to me . So my question is , If ur wife told u she stopped her pills and u knew u were having sex with her anyway, would u feel bad or angry if she felt pregnant?
Would u blame her ? I think im pregnant but just dont wanna tell him , cos he doesn't want a child now ( so he says ).
Thank you for reading me and sorry it was way too long . thx ( no insults please .)

Have you asked him that question? try this one: "You know I'm not on the pill anymore, that means we could get pregnant from doing this. Since were doing it anyway, is that okay with you?"

I am not sure about Jeri's solution- if you think you are already pregnant then it's a bit late to ask him if he minds- because what do you say when he says he does mind? You have obviously been together for some time, you have had 2 kids together- you are obviously doing something right. It sounds like he wants more kids but just not right now- he didn't say "absolutely no more". I think he would simply prefer having a child later, but this doesn't mean he will dead against having one now. I think you should send warning signals before telling him- say you are late this month and need to do a hpt. This at least gives him a day or two to get his head around the possibility. He's a grown man having sex without contraception. He knows the score, and he should shoulder the consequences as much as you. All the best with hubby and the pregnancy

I have a story like your's, although I am not pregnant. I have recently got off bc for medical reasons. I told my husband. I even thought I was pregnant. My husband makes comments about wanting to use condoms, but hasn't bought any. He also asked if it was okay to have sex. I told him to pull out, but he didn't. I want to be pregnant so bad. We have been married for 2 1/2 years. At the time of our wedding, we both decided to wait a year before we had any kids. He keeps saying we should wait. I spoil my husband. I am not sure if he doesn't want kids now or if he's afraid he will not be spoiled anymore. My husband and I get along and I can't see a reason to wait. Is what my husband doing normal for men?

Having a kid is such a life-changing event, I think some men can't come right out and say they want one. If you've told your husband you're not taking birth control anymore, and he's still having sex with you, it might be a passive way of saying he wants a kid.
